During a relative’s recent hospital visit, a hospital consultant was asked if he intended to go on strike. He said he would but not for himself, he was striking in support of the junior doctors.
The consultant also works in a private hospital. Any person with a cancelled NHS appointment may wonder if his strike action applied to his private work as well, but he wasn’t asked that question.
I guess that once you have made it to consultant level and wangled a private practice, you can afford to take up an expensive hobby like striking, just as other blokes take up sailing or salmon-fishing.
ReplyDeleteSam - yes, it's a spot of luxury virtue-signalling. Probably boosts the private work too, but we don't look at it like that.
